Wanted to get peoples take on Adobe Lightroom. I just finished a photoshoot of our Football catalogue and am preparing to process and automate our color correcting (so that REDS on one page of our catalogue are the same red on another page.)
In the past we have taken the shoot with a color QP card and using our cameras software and free online QP card software to alter the RAW files globally. Then we automate resizing,touch ups and do close cropping in photoshop. This has worked great so far and I am very happy with past catalogue shots based on the limited resources we have.

Tonight I am planning to download the beta version of Lightroom at home and play around and test with it.....and just wanted peoples two cents worth.
I guess its Adobe answer to Aperature.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry danger... never heard of it! Sounds interesting... I'd be interested to know what you think of it!

It just runs a little slow on my tablet, but still far better than any PC alternative right now. I use it a lot!

I'd help you if I knew what it was, but like Satch, I never even heard of it.

I just played with it for an hour or so. Very nice and just what we need for large photoshoots. Makes it much more organized. The navigation is quite easy, a little different, but once you play around with it and explore it features you can't help but feel extremely familiar with the alterable settings (alot photoshop familiar options and alot more for the digital SLR users). Perfect for someone who does alot of model, product shots, or generally takes/produces alot of photographs on an expert level.

It's just a beta version and they don't recommend using to actually go to print yet (rather they make no guarantees at this point), so I won't be using for our shoot, I will stick to the way I have been using.

But when done I will redo the shoot through Lightroom and send a test run to the printer.

It looks SEXY so far!
